If you’ve never celebrated Independence Day in Redmond, you’re in for a spectacular experience. Every 4th of July, Redmond transforms into a living tribute to the stars & stripes, with more than 1,600 commemorative flags hung across the city — lining the streets, fluttering on front porches, and raised high against the backdrop of our sunny, high desert skies.
And the celebration doesn’t end with the decorations. From a morning parade down 6th street to live music and parties across the city and beyond, all capped off with show-stopping firework displays, Redmond is your Basecamp for celebrating America’s birthday.
Here’s your guide to all the July 4th happenings across the greater Redmond area to ensure you make the most of your Independence Day in Redmond.
